Mark 13:13 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.”
A member of the Arkansas State University football is standing up against an anti-Christianist who demanded a cross emblem on the team’s helmets remembering slain classmates be removed.
The cross emblem was used because both of the slain students, Markel Owens and Barry Weyer, were open and practicing Christians. The team thought that a cross was appropriate to fit both young men.
Jonesboro attorney Louis Nisenbaum decided that the team shouldn’t be able to honor their fallen classmates that way and sent a demand to the school.
“That is a clear violation of the Establishment Clause as a state endorsement of the Christian religion,” the anti-Christianist wrote. “Please advise whether you agree and whether ASU will continue this practice.”
The school then said they would remove the crosses even though they saw no legal grounds to require it to avoid litigation.
One football player, who is remaining anonymous out of fear of the wrath of anti-Christianists, has obtained legal assistance from the Liberty Institute to fight the decision.
“ASU’s actions in defacing the students’ memorial stickers to remove their religious viewpoint is illegal viewpoint discrimination against the students’ free speech. As these stickers were designed by and adopted by the students on their own, they constitute protected student speech,” the letter, written by Director of Strategic Litigation Hiram Sasser, stated. “Furthermore, ASU’s actions evince that hostility to religion that the Supreme Court has stated is a violation of the Establishment Clause.”
The Liberty Institute has demanded an answer by Wednesday as to whether or not the school will affirm the players have the right to voluntarily put the crosses on their helmets.

People must stand up for putting God back into our country. God Bless America! It is still on our money! It is on the very money that bought the helmets. So how can they protest that!
Perhaps all Christians need to post the emblem of the cross on their vehicles along side with Jims closing line which is “God Loves You…He really does” I am so tired of all the anti christian athiests telling us what to do.and trying their best to destroy any rememberence of what Jesus did on the cross. This would be a great way to remind those who might be luke warm or even cold about the promise of the salvation available to all of us.. As christians, we need to stand up for our belief and stop letting the athiests dictate their beliefs on us. This would be a great way to protest without violence and spread the word at the same time. I would put one on my car if I had one. The antichristians seem to be making a lot of headway in getting crosses removed in many places of government, but we have thousands and thousands of christians who drive and they can not make us take crosses off our personal cars and trucks. These car stickers could be given out to people who order your books, food and donations to the ministery. I hope you like my idea.
This is a wonderful idea. Thank you for sharing!
